I checked with my test text, and Georgia came out slightly shorter than Arial, a handful of lines. And, being a serif font, maybe it does improve readability (but I hear that was disproved, so who knows?).
Serious point on readability: paper and screen have different resolution. Even with a good monitor, it can lead to slight differences. A lot of on-screen infelicities can just vanish.
